Team Surrey Running and Athletics club is a club open to all abilities and standards. We offer training and guidance that can benefit both those looking to compete at high standards and partake in BUCS competitions, as well as those wanting to maintain their fitness whilst getting to know others with the same interest. Our training caters for all types of individuals by offering weekly casual runs, circuit training sessions and having close ties with Guildford and Godalming AC. We send athletes hoping to compete on a more serious level to GGAC to receive specialist training and coaching, with access to a track. Our training also covers those who simply enjoy a casual run as well as serious sprinters and endurance athletes.

We aren't all about training as we offer weekly social events, such as nights out, bowling, laser tag, meals and active socials such as spin classes. Everyone is welcome and socials are a great opportunity to allow everybody to get to know one another.

The Athletics Club is widely accessible as running is a brilliant sport that is easy to partake in and provides an easy way of keeping fit whilst you are at Uni! Whether you want to train for a Parkrun or for the London Marathon, we are here to encourage and support you.

TRAINING IS BACK ON THIS WEEK!!
I hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas and survived the January exams. A few changes for this semester including a new running interval session on Friday night starting at Surrey Sports Park. This session is aimed at people wanting to increase their speed and fitness. The popular Monday night social run returns tomorrow and starts from outside Simply fresh. The Rubix HIIT circuit class also returns for 2018 with some new equipment and exercises !!
Another big event coming up is Varsity 2018 on March 21st (save the date). If you are not familiar with varsity it is a yearly event where Team Surrey play arch enemies Royal Holloway. Last year the event was held at Surrey University and we challenged Royal Holloway to a 5km cross country race. Its safe to say we won hands down and I hope this year we can do the same again. Its open to all running and athletics members so if your interested drop us a message or talk to a member of the committee.
The 2018 training schedule is as follows:
Monday - 7.30pm Social Run, meet outside Simply Fresh, open to all abilities
Tuesday - 6.30pm GGAC Track (Invitation only)
Wednesday - 5pm HIIT circuit class, Rubix dance floor
Thursday - 6.30pm GGAC Track (Invitation only)
Friday - 5pm Running interval session, meet Surrey Sports Park reception

I hope to see you all there,
